Children's story - just finnished today- let me know good or bad comments, does it make sence???
When my foot hit something, in the grass, that was hard
I looked down to see a large white stone
Which was much larger than any stone I'd ever known
I picked it up it was large, round and hard
I wondered what it was doing in my backyard
But then in my hands this stone with it's yellow spot
Started to move as if it wanted to hop a lot
I put the stone on the ground and took two steps back
Then got a huge shock when the stone started to crack!
Out came four claws, with scaly, green, thin bird-like toes
Then an L shaped head cracked through the top, with a heart shaped nose!
Then out come two pairs of wings a pale colored green
With a curious face and eyes the deepest yellow I'd ever seen
at the end of its heart shaped snout were tiny tuffs of hair
I blinked my eyes thinking that I had just been dreaming the creature to appear
I rubbed my eyes just in case but sure enough the creature was alive and moving
With it's long green scaly neck and I knew it truly, truly was real and breathing
I yelled out in shock "I've found a Dinosaurs egg"
And I stood watching for the cracks, waiting to see the second scaly, thin leg
This newborn creature blinked and looked around at my swing set
I don't think it had evenn seen me watching it yet!
It's yellow eyes blinked and then its wings stretched out thin and long
It's two frount teeth were very small but still looked sharp and strong
It didn't look mean but I couldn't keep this secret anymore
So I bolted up the backstairs and yell loud enough... so mum would hear for sure...
I yelled for mum once or twice but she came running really fast
I had so much to describe to her but I was talking way too fast
"Slow down" mum said getting annoyed "I thought you'd been badly hurt!
What is this about a Dinosaur and why are your shoes covered with dirt?"
"Hey mum if you don't believe me
Then just come outside yourself to see!"
I went back down the backstairs with mum walking right behind
"Don't worry Mum, don't be scared because it looks really sweet and kind
"There" I said pointing through the grass so mum could see the egg
But gone now was the heart shaped nose, the tiny green scaley leg
I picked the stone up and saw that the inside was hollow
All my excitement has suddenly turned into a grieving sorrow
Mum shook her head and ruffled my hair and gave me a little kiss
"You have such a great imagination" she said "But I'm old enough to know dinosaurs no longer exist..."
Mum went back inside and I instantly searched around the backyard
Surely finding this creature wouldn't be that hard.
I look around the swing set and under the trampoline
Looking for those deep yellow eyes and feet a scaley green
I search up in the branches of all the trees we own
And checked every hiding spot in the garden around our home
I climbed on top of the swing set so I could look over the neibours fence
For a Dinosaur too just disappear it just didn't make much sence
When my mum called me for dinner I was still searching through the shed
When mum found me searching later that night she angrily sent me back to bed
But I couldn't sleep a single wink I kept thinking of those yellow eyes
Wondering just were the creature would be determined to continue the search at sun rise
I kept searching for three long weeks and didn't ever, ever want to give the searching up
Longing to show my mum this creature so she'd know that I hadn't just made it all up
I told my best friend about the stone that turned out to be an egg
But she didn't believe me saying "Dinosaurs have more than one thin scaley leg!"

Hey Mum I've found.... 'something'
I was playing quietly in the backyardWhen my foot hit something, in the grass, that was hard
I looked down to see a large white stone
Which was much larger than any stone I'd ever known
I picked it up it was large, round and hard
I wondered what it was doing in my backyard
But then in my hands this stone with it's yellow spot
Started to move as if it wanted to hop a lot
I put the stone on the ground and took two steps back

Then an L shaped head cracked through the top, with a heart shaped nose!
Then out come two pairs of wings a pale colored green
